Group B, Day 2: Greece vs. Philippines

[Dorian]

nikola janković sounds greek... atent... and baby shaq not only sounds like greeks they even look like ones

1. Never heard of nikola janković.
2. Giannis born and raised in Greece.
3. Baby shaq AKA Sofoklis Schortsianitis sounds as Greek as it gets. He is half Greek (his father being Greek) and his mother is Cameroonian.

Why being so childish so much KWSN-Men??
And whats wrong with naturalizing someone to strengthen the team.
Europeans popularize naturalization. Spain currently have one(IBAKA).



I think we should lock this thread now because its been over already and some guys(most) are just trolling the thread.

[KWSN-Men]

No, thats not funny mate... youwere expected to win. the funny thing though is someone from the Giant teamcomplaining about the way the smaller team plays the game and almost cost themthe game...

1. The Dutch are the tallest nation in the world. I don’tsee them winning anything in basketball. On the contrary, they are a top nationin football, a sport that favors shorter than average people. Pinoys should excelin football I guess, being shorter than average, but they don’t, because theydon’t have the SKILLS.

2. Since this is not Trach and Field, it comes down toskills, as with any sport. Greeks are in South Europe and are not the tallestEuropeans but that doesn’t stop them doing rather well the last 30 years, sincethey developed their own school of basketball and skills and tactics.

Guys please don't payattention to KWSN-Men. He is not representative of the Greek IBN community. Iapologize for his rude behavior! And I will be watching and rooting for PHIagainst PUR!

Did you get your lithium for today?

We know, we have some few badapples in our backyard so we know that assholes do exist in any group.

Good luck therest of the tournament.

Nice!

I am talking about the game and the players with arguments,you call me an asshole. I guess this is what happens when your arguments are really crappy.

That one by Tenorio was cheap. Igrant you that. As for the rest of the team, how do you expect we play eurostyle D when our players are a head smaller than yours? If we wont playphysical definitely your Greek frontline would be feasting down low allnight.We cant afford to play Defense the way you are accustomed to becauseFilipinos are midgets by European standard.
In basketball and life in general you fight or survive using what you have. Notwith what you wish you have or what your opponents possessed.

You don’t have size, but you’re faster, right? So play double teams, play intricate defensive systems. Use tactics. But that would be harder mental, physical and basketball wise so why bother? Let’s play dirty. Oh and let’s pay some Americans to become Philippinos so we can say we have a good team.

Is king Leonidas really Greek?

I thought the Greeks because they got lots of famous warriors in history aretough...... why they keep whining about the play of a much smaller team likePhilippines?

You don't hear Argentina complaining about Gilas even though their game againstRP are more intense since it's a close game. Is this the reason why Argentinahas won the Olympics and FIBA world cup and greece has nada?

Greece has the talent and size to dominate basketball in world stage and theyare one of the eight founding members of the International BasketballFederation (since 1932) but until now they have not won it all(Olympics/FIBA).

WAR is where people try to kill each other.

FIGHTING SPORTS are where people try to subdue or knockout each other.

BASKETBALL is where people try to get a ball through ahoop. When there is illegal contact, refs call fouls. When players try to hitwithout being seen by the refs, especially in the balls etc, it’s not playinghard, it’s playing dirty.
PS: Greeks won against the Persians 2500 ago, althoughthey were greatly outnumbered because of better equipment, superior skills andmore advanced tactics. Seeing a pattern here?
I guess all these things are hard for you guys tounderstand, just now trying to familiaize yourself with how the game is playedinternationally and not how you came to think the game is played. We’ll giveyou time, eventually you’ll learn.
